Overall, it’s a bad start. But we have some bright spots with Cain, Narvaez, and Shaw. If they can have good seasons, I feel like the other problems are fixable (Hiura demotion, Yelich power will come, Wong and Bradley average will improve).
-
Gotta let Hiura keep playing most days but he should lose his lineup slot soon unless he starts hitting
-
Another no hitter in progress by the Cubs 4th best starter, no biggie
-
Seeing Arcia at 3B is really frustrating especially with our ice cold offense and his bad ABs to start the season. If it were up to me he would never start at 3B.

26 of 28 in offense entering today, it looks like they are on track to finish the day 27 of 28 Ok, I re-read this a few times trying to understand. What does 26 of 28 refer to? 26th place out of 28 teams which have played games

I’m more worried about Hiura personally. He might be a negative WAR 1B.
-
Our offense feels a little hopeless again. 1 earned run in 19 innings.
-
Hopefully they don’t let Burnes throw 120 pitches or something stupid

It is a little frustrating to watch them destroy the chance to offer a product to a modern audience -
As much as I hate Arcia I don’t think they can cut him after showing signs of life last year
-
McKinney and Fisher have MiLB numbers that put Taylor to shame, same age or younger, and look how much value they had last offseason

We do Netflix, Hulu, Discovery for about $50, I thought cable was about $85 with limited or no on demand content. We would get Netflix with cable so I think that means the Brewers thru cable would cost us about $50/month, maybe $5/game. -
Topa feels like the good version of John Axford
-
Perez also has taken some crazy team friendly contracts up til now and while I usually will assume the worst of owners during negotiations, they might have let him cash in a little bit due to previous deals
-
Seems like a smaller team had to take a risky gamble that the breakout was real to avoid negotiating in FA

Spring Training Battle: 3B (and SS and UT)
umphrey replied to brewerfan82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I put more stock into the fact that Arcia has been the worst offensive player in baseball over the past 3 years (by 8 points on WRC+, a healthy margin) but to each their own, I guess -

RotoWire News: Urias (hamstring) is in the lineup at shortstop for Sunday's spring game against the Mariners, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. (3/14/2021) -
Spring Training Battle: 3B (and SS and UT)
umphrey replied to brewerfan82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Urias has crushed AAA pitching for about 900 PAs and blocking him with a bottom 5 hitter in all of MLB is insane -
Fisher is my favorite out of the "throw it at the wall and see if it sticks" category
-
I am optimistic that Cain can be an above average player when he does play though
-
I would prefer to sign Franco/Gyorko and cut Shaw
-
Although Arcia is only 26, it's probably more likely that he makes a long MLB career as a SS/CF/2B util guy than has an offensive breakout at SS. He has the tools to play CF and his bat sort of plays there as a part time guy.
-
I don't know what to make of Peralta but I find it odd that they would pay him $3M/year for junk innings
-
Arcia never really hit in the minors, his best year was in AA with an empty .307 avg (low HR and walk numbers). Urias has shown average, walks, power in AAA over a lot of plate appearances (granted, the power was only in 2019). He's a lot better of a prospect offensively than Arcia ever was.
